The
Lord took the land of the Cannanites and gave it to Israel. Why?
Because
the Earth is the Lord's and the Fullness thereof,
And
He gives it to whomever He pleases
To
Fulfill His own Plan and Purposes.
The
Lord had said to Abram,
'Leave
your country, your people and your father's household
And
go to the Land I will show you.
I
will make you into a Great Nation
And
I will Bless you;
I
will make your name Great,
And
you will be a Blessing.
I
will Bless those who Bless you,
And
whoever Curses you I will Curse;
AND
ALL THE PEOPLES ON EARTH WILL BE BLESSED THROUGH YOU.'
(Genesis
12:1-3)
[This
statement refers to Christ Jesus,
Through
Whom all the peoples of the earth have been blessed;
Christ
Jesus who establishes His Millennial Kingdom
In
Jerusalem on Mount Zion.]
Abraham
traveled through the land as far
As
the site of the great tree of Moreh at Shechem.
The
Cannanites were in the Land,
But
the Lord appeared to Abram and said,
'To
your Offspring I will give this Land.'
So
he built and Altar there to the Lord, Who had appeared to him.
(Genesis
12:6, 7)
The
Whole Land of Cannan, where you are now an Alien,
I
will give as an Everlasting Possession to you
And
your Descendants after you For Generations to come.
(Genesis
17:8)
Speaking
to Jacob the Lord said to him:
The
Land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you,
And
I will give this Land to your Descendants after you.'
(Genesis
35:12)
In
the days of Joshua:
So
the Lord gave Israel All the Land He had Sworn to give their
forefathers,
And
they took Possession of it and settled there.
The
Lord gave them Rest on Every Side,
Just
as He had sworn to their forefathers.
NOT
ONE OF THEIR ENEMIES WITHSTOOD THEM;
THE
LORD HANDED ALL THEIR ENEMIES OVER TO THEM.
[The
Lord establishes kingdoms and tears them down as He sees fit.
But
only kingdoms that Obey Him last.]
Not
one of All the Lord's Good Promises to the House of Israel Failed;
Every
one was Fulfilled.
(Joshua
21:43-45)
In
70 AD the Romans Destroyed Jerusalem and dispersed the Jews.
The
Temple worship was Lost for the next 2,000 years,
And
their Land was Lost to them for the next 2,000 years.
However,
in 1948 the Nation of Israel was Reestablished;
And
Unheard of Event in the history of the World,
In
the Fulfillment of Scripture.
Today
we watch
As
the Remainder of Scripture related to Israel is Fulfilled.
And
it will be Fulfilled Exactly as it is written.
Today,
Israel is Anathema to the Nations of the World.
They
would like to do away with her,
Thinking
that then, Peace would come to the Mideast.
And
Scripture tells us, at the End of TIME,
The
Nations of the World gather to Destroy Israel
And
are themselves Destroyed. (Zechariah 14)
God's
Purpose, through Abraham and His Seed, which is Christ Jesus,
Was
to obtain a Bride for Christ Jesus.
All
Six Thousand Years of Scriptural History
Were
devoted to that Single Purpose.
And
Christ Jesus Completes that Purpose at His Return,
Which
is Coming Soon.
The
Land of Israel belongs to Israel because God Almighty gave it to her;
It
was His and His alone to give;
And
Scripture tells us that it will Not be Taken from her.
God,
the Eternal One, gave it to Israel as an Everlasting Gift.
